“No culture stops me from taking tablets”
Nigeria bears the highest burden of malaria cases in the world, and pregnant women are uniquely vulnerable to the disease. Malaria in pregnancy (MiP) may have negative implications for maternal and neonatal health. The World Health Organization (WHO)-recommended intermittent preventive treatment with sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine (IPTp-SP) helps to prevent MiP. However, due to the influence of significant others, the decision-making power regarding …
I’m 70% Nigerian, 30% American”
Africa-West migration is on the increase. For many young Nigerians, emigration is a goal that must be achieved by any means possible, regardless of the realities in receiving countries. With exposure to new environments, migrants can identify with their home culture, assimilate the lifestyles of the host country, or find a middle ground. This study examined the patterns of self-identification among Nigerian migrants and their understanding of the…
“I Thought I Was Coming to Paradise”
There is an increasing hunger for migration in Nigeria. The urgency and desperation to emigrate without a clear path and adequate information about the host country can be disastrous for migrants after arrival in the host country. Most intending migrants have untrue, exaggerated views of life in the West, leading to discrepancies between pre-migration expectations and post-migration experiences. Discrepancies between expectation and reality may a…
Slim north, fat south
Weight abnormalities (underweight, overweight, and obesity) can cause life-threatening ailments. This study investigates disparities in the prevalence of underweight, overweight, and obesity between northern and southern Nigeria and their associated factors. Using the 2018 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS), the study analysed a sample of 12,333 women with complete records of body mass index. The study found that southern women had lowe…
Socioecological Approach to Understanding Overnutrition Among Married and Cohabiting Women in Nigeria
Overweight and obesity are currently an epidemic affecting both developed and developing countries. Sub-Saharan Africa has a double burden of being underweight and obese and has recently been battling an alarming increase in the prevalence of overweight. This study investigates the predictors of overnutrition among married women of reproductive age in Nigeria using the socioecological model (SEM) as a framework. The study hypothesizes that the So…
Regional variations in child and mother’s characteristics influencing the use of insecticide treated net in Nigeria
Nigeria accounts for a quarter of malaria cases worldwide, which can be prevented with the use of insecticide treated nets (ITN). While studies have documented mother-related characteristics influencing use of ITN, regional variations in the influence of those factors are not well known. This study investigated nine factors (age, place of residence, education, religion, wealth, number of children in the household, sex of child, age of child and p…
Regional variations in the acceptance and experience of intimate partner violence in Nigeria
This study investigates regional variations in the factors associated with acceptance and actual experience of intimate partner violence (IPV) among married women in northern and southern Nigeria - two regions with distinct socio-cultural and economic differences. Data from the 2018 demographic and health survey are analysed to compare these two regions. The sample comprised married/living-with-partner women within the reproductive age of 15-49. …
Who Wants to Go Where? Regional Variations in Emigration Intention in Nigeria
There has been an increase in the number of Nigerians desperately leaving the country. In the absence of accurate data on the rate of actual emigration, this study investigated emigration intention in Nigeria, and how it varies between northern and southern Nigeria – two regions with perennial sociocultural differences that have been neglected in migration research. The study also investigated the factors associated with emigration intention. It …
Does where mothers live matter? Regional variations in factors influencing place of child delivery in Nigeria
Utilization of health care facilities for child delivery is associated with improved maternal and neonatal outcomes, but less than half of mothers use these for child delivery in Nigeria. This study investigated the factors associated with facility delivery in Nigeria, and their variation between the Northern and Southern parts of the country – two regions with distinct socio-cultural make-ups. The study included 33,924 mothers aged 15–49 who had…
An empirical investigation of court users’ encounters with bribery, judicial extortion and corruption victimisation in Lagos State
Violent victimisation in Lagos metropolis
Violence or its threats have been a part of many African cities since the end of the Cold War, when many African countries transited from military to civilian rule. While the incidence of organised crime and violent victimisation of innocent citizens is not new to many West African cities, the emergence of terrorist organisations, armed bandits, kidnappers and armed gangs in a city like Lagos has created new security challenges. The challenges in…
